I played D&D for 10 years before I seriously tried DMing. I'm now a year and a half into a 5e game with 4 other players and it's been great. It helped that YouTube kept sending me Matt Colville videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YZvLUXcR8

I've been happy with the update, but I also rarely use the flamethrower or incendiary breaker. I normally play on 7s and my friends that use the incendiary said they are mostly fine in groups, but soloing objectives is harder.
The flamethrower change made chargers harder... But I prefer rocket pods for them anyway.
I've seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn't seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.
I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn't matter. Kingdom takes place "many generations" after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom's story works fine as a standalone film. It's not amazing, but there's nothing particularly awful about it. Now I'll probably see the next couple, but they're not high on my list.
I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.
It's both. In episode 1 someone asks the cowboy actor to "do the thumbs up". Later, the actor explains the mushroom safety part to his daughter. In episode 3 there is another flashback where the cowboy actor does a photoshoot for Vault-Tec. He asks the photographer "what if I try a thumbs up?"
A medium roast from Costa Rica. I'm using my small Chemex and I'm still dialing in the grind size. It's brewing faster than a few weeks ago so I went finer. It's at about a 3 minute brew, but still has a light mix of sour and bitterness.
I'm behind on using my subscription coffee so I started a batch of cold brew last night with the last 75 grams. Hopefully it turns out well.
Because even John Cena is reluctant to dress like John Cena. The only real answer is "because that is the expected formal wear in our society".
I loved the first two, but I had a hard time getting through the third. It has interesting concepts but it takes a long time to make its point. Plot structure spoilers:

The main reveal should have happened half way through, not at the end.

The Children of Time books by Adrian Tchaikovsky have a lot of those themes. Half of the first book is about an ark ship sent out to find a habitable planet because earth is dying. It spans hundreds of years as key crew members go in and out of hyper sleep. Relationships and political factions form and dissolve as the ageing ship continues its mission to find a new home.
The second book focuses on a terraforming crew that was sent to another star system to prepare a planet for humans. However, the planet's ecology is so alien it proves very difficult to gain a foothold.
I'm not big into matching band music, but I went to a MarchFourth concert on a whim and had a fun time. Lots of juggling, hula hooping, dancing. They even had a guy doing yo-yo tricks to a saxophone solo.
